PHYSICIST STEPHEN HAWKING–DEAD AT 76

It will be interesting to see if “The Big Bang Theory” addresses it—but physicist Stephen Hawking has died. Hawking had been attacked by ALS when he was only 21—which is why he was in a wheelchair. It was severe pneumonia in 1985 that had forced him to breathe through a tube–and why he used a computer to communicate. He was 76.
